What are your favorite piano pieces, and do you play the piano yourself?

Here are mine (in random order)
* Yiruma: River flows in you (and NO not because of twilight!)
* Debussy: Clair de lune
* Jim Brickman: Lake erie rainfall
* Dario Marianelli: Dawn (pride and prejudice soundtrack)

There are a lot of gorgeous piano pieces, but these are my favorite.

    Yes, I do play the piano (poorly) and my favorite piano pieces are all classical. I recommend that you listen to some classical piano. (This is the classical category after all). Only the Debussy piece in your list is classical. The rest is not significant musically.

    There are indeed "a lot of gorgeous piano pieces" unfortunately I don’t play myself but here are some I wish I could:
    (with not a drop of that Yiruma fellow in sight)

    Beethoven first and foremost and especially his peerless final two Piano Sonatas, No.31 in A flat major & No.32 in C minor.
    Here is the third movement from the Sonata in A flat

    and these also:
    Chopin – Ballades No.1 in G minor & No.4 in F minor
    Scriabin – Piano Sonata No.9
    Schumann – Kreisleriana
